I started replacing brake pads, brake lines and bleeding the system today.

ran into problem with both front brake lines. I tried to brake the stock lines with two wrenches (large crescent and smaller 10mm: as suggested in the HSPN install) I double-checked to make sure that I was rotating the correct way to unscrew.

I got one installed but other side= stripped 10mm bolt. now i have one side with an ss line and one side with a stock line.

anyone know if there's a trick to it? or more importantly how to unscrew a stripped bolt? or rather a shop out there that would be able to handle this without an arm and a leg? will i run into the same problem with the rear lines?

thanks for any help

 

Vice grips. lol. those crescent tools suck.

 

I guess its too late now but did you use a flare nut wrench on the 10 mm nut?
Anyway, depending on how stripped it is vice grips might be the only solution. I had problems with my passenger front and driver side rear when I did mine...ended up using vice grips on the passenger front.
